Is your learner interested in diving further into the unique world of DYNASTY fantasy football? Has your learner generally played in a traditional fantasy football league and is curious in taking the next steps in diving even deeper into this exciting NFL game? Or maybe they are already invested in a dynasty league and want to become a part of a welcoming community to discuss different player values, trade options, and have general lively, friendly discussions about their teams with a group of their peers? Even when the NFL offseason is in full swing: in the world of dynasty fantasy football, there is always action! This is a regular, on-going club setting that allows learners to openly discuss their opinions, experiences, and predictions to hopefully get them to the same important goal - to win their dynasty league! This club will focus on engaging all individuals as much as they would like and providing a safe space for people to ask a few questions, give a few responses, and talk openly about some of the 'big moves' in the world of the NFL. Each week, we'll start by highlighting the big news of the previous week and asking for feedback on each learner's team (during the regular season) and decisions that were made on their prior week's performance. Themes of trade analysis, decision making regarding ‘rebuilding’ or ‘competing’ teams, and youth vs veteran player statuses will also be a highlight of conversations. During the offseason months, we will focus on upcoming player values and the dynasty market projections and rankings that go along with specific league-wide events (e.g. free agency, the NFL draft). We'll also talk plenty about draft strategy/team management, and participate in some mock startup and rookie drafts to assess different angles learners can choose to take for their dynasty teams. I will facilitate discussions making sure to incorporate all learners that wish to comment, and provide any helpful feedback regarding risks and benefits of different decisions. My intent is not to force my opinion on the learners, but rather facilitate lively interactions among them to get everyone excited and engaged with each others' teams. This club will encourage teamwork, introduce critical thinking techniques, and with my guidance, allow them to work with each other to ask crucial questions and lead helpful conversations (with adequate time for each learner's team) about the issues that are most pressing to their league.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been an avid NFL fan for 25 years (Go Pack Go!) and have been playing, commissioning, and analyzing different analytical strategies related to fantasy football for the past 15 years. I currently am a contributing writer for a popular sports website where I analyze weekly fantasy football topics and trends. I am also a published author of a book on how to play fantasy football and the different strategies needed for a successful season.
My love for the game stems from the lively interaction I had growing up with my dad and brother which has flourished into group hangouts, league discussion boards, and watch events with friends and family members every Sunday afternoon.
Fantasy football is a passion of mine, along with many others out there; but the connections and friendships that can be built from the analysis and general discussion of the game is what holds fantasy football in a large part of my heart. Having been a science educator and a coach for the past 14 years has given me the amazing opportunity to have students learn, do, and discuss many different types of skills to help them improve their knowledge, and more importantly, their joy for a topic. I am excited to do that with your learners with this weekly dynasty fantasy football club!
